As this event foreshadows the suicide of Marcie, no doubt it is at least partly based on such incidents as the suicide of [[Patricia Pulling]]'s son Bink. However, the idea that Bink's suicide had anything to do with his character was never established. There is no clear [[evidence]] that anyone has ever become suicidally depressed over a lost character. However, this is fiction, so it's not all that important.}}
